70 New Jobs Coming To Clinton Industrial Park

Clinton, Miss. (February 22, 2017) — Officials from Precision Machining Services of Chattanooga, Tenn. announce the company is creating 70 jobs and investing $5 million in a new manufacturing facility in the Clinton Industrial Park.

“When out of state businesses choose to grow their operations in the city of Clinton, it serves as a testament to our welcoming business climate and productive workforce created by our top ranked schools from K-12 through graduate school,” stated Mayor Phil Fisher of Clinton. “I look forward to many years of fruitful partnership with Precision in job creation and community enrichment.”

Precision Machining Services will locate into the 60,000 square foot former Akzo-Nobel facility. The 14 acre site at 1000 Industrial Park Drive in Clinton will house machining and painting services for the aerospace and defense industry. Future expansions are possible as the company’s footprint in Mississippi grows.

"We are looking forward to expanding our company in Clinton and we appreciate the support we have received from the city in creating this opportunity," said Precision Machining President Wayne Oettinger. “This facility and the availability of an educated, trained and qualified workforce make Clinton the perfect place for the expansion of our aerospace and defense machining lines.”

Precision is seeking skilled craftsmen with work ethics to include strong sense of pride in the job and those seeking employment longevity.

Founded in 1973 in Chattanooga, Tenn., Precision has the technology and expertise to address today’s complex and demanding manufacturing requirements.

“Precisions Machining Services expansion to Mississippi is a prime example of how small businesses play an integral role in accelerating Mississippi’s economy by creating these new career opportunities,” said Clinton Mayor Phil Fisher. “With the current expansion of McNeely Plastics, Taylor Power locating operations in Clinton and a future announcement of nearly 60 jobs, the Clinton Industrial Park has seen the creation of over 275 jobs since 2013. I believe this is a testimony to the dedication and quality of our workforce.”
